Confidence - Rosabeth Moss Kanter (CD)
Title: [Title] Title:Confidence: How Winning and Losing Streaks Begin Author: Rosabeth Moss Kantor Genre:Biz Format:cd, 5 cds, 6 hours (Abridged) Synopsis: From the boardroom to the locker room to the living roomhow winners become winners . . . and stay that way. Is success simply a matter of money and talent? Or is there another reason why some people and organizations always land on their feet, while others, equally talented, stumble again and again? Theres a fundamental principle at workthe vital but previously unexamined factor called confidencethat permits unexpected people to achieve high levels of performance through routines that activate talent. Confidence explains: Why the University of Connecticut womens basketball team continues its winning ways even though recent teams lack the talent of their predecessors Why some companies are always positively perceived by employees, customers, Wall Street analysts, and the media while others are under a perpetual cloud How a company like Gillette or a team like the Chicago Cubs ends a losing streak and breaks out of a circle of doom The lessons a politician such as Nelson Mandela, who resisted the temptation to take revenge after being released from prison and assuming power, offers for leaders in both advanced democracies and trouble spots like the Middle East Review: AudioFile Too bad the folks at Random House didn't have the "confidence" to stop Rosabeth Moss Kanter from reading her well-researched tome on winning and losing streaks. Kanter's careful word-for-word narration lacks modulation and rhythm, and the result is an audiobook that is neither conversational nor convincing. Part of the blame could be Kanter's prose, which sometimes lapses into inspirational clich ("A loss is a crossroads, not a cliff.") or clunky biz-speak ("Leadership is not about the leader. It is about how she or he builds the confidence of everyone else."). Nevertheless, the underlying data and theories are sound and worth checking out ... though this is a book you're better off reading in print.
